Abstract:
Because of the particularity and the complexity of integrated management of food, government regulators must perform the whole process of quality control and trace to evaluate and judge the merits of food instead of only depending on product standards.Quality metrics is a new concept for the food industry, and can be regarded as the comprehensive evaluation and measurement for product quality and the standard for judging the quality of food products.Request for Quality Metrics Guidance for Industry was issued, which not only established a new model for the quality control of pharmaceutical industry, but also provided a new way of quality management for the inspection organization.By introducing the contents of Request for Quality Metrics Guidance for Industry issued by the US FDA, on the basis of summarization and thought, the quality management and evaluation of pharmaceutical industry was compared, and the feasibility and applicability of quality metrics management in inspection and testing field, especially in food testing field was evaluated.In this paper, the concept of quality metrics was extended to the level of food inspection laboratory management with hope to provide ideas for the future development of food quality management model.
